CLEVELAND, Ohio – The rain that has been with us most of the week is now off to the east, leaving us with cloudy skies and below-average temperatures, a trend expected to continue into early next week.

According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, other than some shower chances on Saturday, we should have several dry days in the offing, perfect to clean up from this week's flood and storm damage.

A Flood Warning remains in effect for the Black River in Elyria through this evening. The National Weather Service reported at 5 a.m. today the river was at 10.5 feet, a foot above flood stage, and will remain above flood stage until this evening. Minor flooding is occurring in that area today, but is expected to subside later.

There are no other watches or warnings for Northeast Ohio heading into the weekend, but the National Weather Service is warning of the possibility of frost in the early morning hours Sunday and Monday, mostly in outlying and low-lying areas.
